The Finance Association
The finance association of l'École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne
We bring together EPFL students interested in finance, raise awareness of finance across campus, and build bridges between the student body and the financial sector.
The Finance Association (TFA) is the finance association of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. Our goal is to bring together EPFL students interested in finance, raise awareness of finance across campus, and build bridges between the student body and the financial sector.
Direct engagement with market data, price dynamics and the real operational constraints of the financial industry.
Development of quantitative finance skills — statistical modelling, time series analysis, portfolio construction, risk management.
Production of documented research papers, formalised presentations and analytical materials meeting industry communication standards.
Building a lasting network between financial institutions and EPFL's quantitative talent.
TFA is organised into four complementary divisions, each contributing to the association's overall mission. This modular structure allows for specialisation of skills while ensuring the overall coherence of activities.
The association's central division. Responsible for the design, development and validation of systematic quantitative strategies. Coordinates the research pipeline from initial hypothesis through to the formalised presentation of results.
Organisation of conferences, workshops and interaction formats with the financial industry. Management of partner relations and coordination of sponsorship activities. Primary interface with external institutions.
Production of editorial content, management of the podcast and dissemination of research outputs. Ensures TFA's institutional visibility within academic and professional communities.
Development and maintenance of the technical infrastructure — data access, computing environments, backtesting tools. Guarantees the reliability and reproducibility of analyses produced by the research division.
